Hofner Bass Guitars

The Hofner name is almost indelibly associated with Paul McCartney’s model 500/1 Hofner violin bass. The link is so strong that the instrument’s real name is almost forgotten and it’s mostly known as the Beatle Bass. However, Hofner has a long history of building quality guitars and basses with strong European distribution, and they build more than one model! The Twelfth Fret is proud to carry Hofner basses; we set up instruments to the player’s requirements and we ship worldwide.
